Insecurity: Gbajabiamila Says All Nigerians Guilty |The Source

By Akinwale Kasali

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, has said that all Nigerians should be held responsible for the unprecedented insecurity in the country.

He said the absence of unity, tolerance and peaceful coexistence led to the sorry state the nation finds itself  insecurity-wise.

Speaking at the Presidential Villa Abuja, Gbajabiamila said, “God even puts you through challenges so that you can come out of it stronger, no one should be exonerated from being culpable in whatever challenges Nigeria is facing”.

He noted that the Eid El Fitri celebration is a period of sacrifice, love and worship amid the challenges in the country.

All Nigerians, he added, should share in the blame of whatever travails are confronting the country, insisting that this was not the time for name calling, and urged Nigerians to be united.

“This is not the time for name calling or blaming one another. If truth be told, we all have equal share in the blame in whatever challenges we have. We all must come together. The same way we all have equal shares, we must all come together to make sure that we resolve whatever issues there are,” he said.

He, expressed optimism concerning Nigeria’s ability to overcome the present security challenges.

“Like I said earlier, the greatest nations have gone through even worse challenges than this and I believe that it’s that’s spirit of oneness, it is that spirit of togetherness, unity, and love that will get us through this.

“There are many things that people have said here and there. You never know where these things are coming from. Sometimes, God even puts you through challenges so that you can come out of it stronger, bigger, better bolder. And that’s what I believe is going to happen to Nigeria.”
